Basszilla Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi guys, Just sorted my music room out and am on the hunt for a nice stand that will take two basses comfortably. Has anyone got any recommendations? What's on the market these days? Hercules still the go-to stand for this application? Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stylon Pilson Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 This really depends upon how it's going to fit into your room. You can get double guitar stands where they are back to back, which might not work if you wanted to put it in a corner. You can also get double guitar stands where one is in front of the other, and depending upon where you place it, that make it hard to get the back one out. Then there are the guitar stands where they all go in a line, which are very space-efficient, but they tend to be for 5 or more. S.P.

BigRedX Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Also depends on the shapes of the basses. While the Hercules models will fit most basses, if your instruments don't have asymmetrical bodies there will be more options available to you.

Basszilla Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Well it would be for a Spector euro and a Fender P. I think I'd rather go with the back to back double stand so I'm guessing the Hercules would be the likely candidate? Anyone with a similar set up? Though I like the idea of a traditional 'in a row' stand as well. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Is this only for home use? Sometimes having two separate stands gives you more options for fitting them in on stage, and if there is a catastrophe it is less likely to affect both instruments.

Basszilla Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yes just home use, just a stand that I can keep my basses out and safe on, without taking up a large footprint. Likely position in a corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Wall hangers? Then you're not taking up any floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I have the Hercules stand that takes 2 basses, good bit of kit. I use it with Jazz & Precision basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Bassman Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 +1 for Hercules. Good and sturdy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Another vote for Hercules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 If you have the space, the Hercules is the go to stand, I reckon. However, even though I use one of those on stage, at home I use wall hangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
